Positive Discipline

Positive Discipline is an approach to parenting that focuses on teaching children self-discipline, responsibility, and problem-solving skills through respectful, non-punitive methods. Developed by Jane Nelsen and rooted in the work of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs, Positive Discipline emphasizes building a strong, empathetic parent-child relationship while guiding behavior in a constructive way.

Here’s an overview of what Positive Discipline parent education typically involves: core principles, focus on teaching, not punishing, building a strong parent-child relationship, encouraging responsibility and independence, problem-solving and conflict resolution, consistency and predictability, empathy and understanding, age-appropriate strategies, positive reinforcement, and parent education workshops and resources.

Overall, Positive Discipline parent education aims to create a supportive and respectful family environment where children can learn and grow. By focusing on teaching and problem-solving rather than punishment, it helps parents guide their children in developing the skills and behaviors needed for successful and fulfilling lives.
